WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Palm Desert, California, did on the
18th day of January 2022, hold a duly noticed public hearing to consider the request by the City

WHEREAS, the Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) modifies the Palm Desert

facts and any testimony given, adopts the following as its Findings in recommended approval
of the ZOA to the City Council:
SECTION 1. Findings. The Planning Commission of the City of Palm Desert hereby
finds that:
A. The City of Palm Desert, California ("City") is a municipal corporation, duly
organized under the constitution and laws of the State of California; and
B. The Planning and Zoning Law authorizes cities to establish by ordinance the
regulations for land use and development.
SECTION 2. Amendment. The Planning Commission of the City of Palm Desert
recommends that the City Council of the City of Palm Desert, California, approve and adopt
the PDMC amendment to Section 25.34.60 (Timeshare Projects) as shown in Exhibit A, which
is attached hereto and incorporated herewith.
SECTION 3. Severability. If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph,
sentence, clause, or phrase in this ordinance or any part thereof is for any reason held to be
unconstitutional or invalid or ineffective by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision
shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the remaining portions of this ordinance or any
part thereof. The Planning Commission hereby declares that it would have passed each
section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause, or phrase thereof irrespective
of the fact that one (1) or more subsections, subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses,
or phrases be declared unconstitutional, invalid, or ineffective.
SECTION 4. CEQA. The City Council finds that adoption of this ordinance is not a

reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and concerns general
policy and procedure making.
